MOREWhy Rand Paul Was The Stealth Winner Of The GOP Debate
by Peter Weber. Fox Business wanted the fourth presidential debate to show that the network respects the Republican presidential candidates, unlike more successful financial news rival CNBC, and it proved that by letting the candidates largely run the show. That tended to favor candidates eager to jump in and assert themselves, so Ohio Gov. ... MOREMatt K. Lewis: Let Rand Be Rand!
The lesson learned. The reviews are in — and it looks like Rand Paul had a good night. Libertarians say he hit his stride. Slate says he’s best when he has nothing left to lose. It was clearly his finest performance of the four debates. As I noted on CNN’s “New Day” Wednesday morning, his heated exchange with Marco Rubio was good for both ... MOREJ.D. Tuccille: If Prohibitions Cannot Work Within The Prison System, How Can They Work In The Outside World?
Answer: they can't. Last week, Karl Jensen and Lisa Mary Hutchinson were sent to the lockup for smuggling a knife, drugs, and a McMuffin into the UK's Wormwood Scrubs prison. Maybe somebody still on the outside will toss a sandwich over the wall to help them pass the time. In a related story, at about the same time Larry Michael Webb and Holly ... MOREDemocrat's Propaganda Battling The Motivated Voter
by Barry Farber. There’s one battleground where the Democrats are walloping the body fluids out of the Republicans. It’s fitting nobody talks about it because that battlefield is beyond obscure.

MOREAndrew Napolitano: The President And The Rule Of Law

Critics had argued and two federal ... MOREJohn W. Whitehead: The Real Issues That You Won't Hear From The 2016 Presidential Candidates This Election Year
Government's stealth tyranny. We now have less than one year until the 2016 presidential election.

MOREVideo Reveals Motorist Had His Hands Up Before Police Officers Executed His 6-Year-Old Son Strapped In Seat
by Michael Kunzelman. Good thing the cops were black and victims white.

"This was not a threatening situation for the police," ... MOREJohn Stossel: My Trump Problem
Using government as a weapon. Sometimes I like Donald Trump. He makes me laugh when he mocks reporters' stupid questions. Sometimes he's smart. When Maryland's lefty governor said a tax on rich people would "raise revenue," Trump told me why it wouldn't. The taxpayers would just flee: "I know these people! They're international people! ... MORETwo Years After Edward Snowden's Exposure, The NSA To End Bulk Collection Of Data From American's Phone Calls

The memo, sent on Monday from the NSA to relevant committees in the U.S. ... MOREWhen You're Popular, You Don't Need Freedom Of Speech
by Andrew Sirios. The rise of the left, the demise of the west. Free speech is not something that people would normally see as a

support and opposition to free speech can shed a lot of light on what’s
happening now in the West. The first thing that needs to be noted
is that ... MOREHow Law Enforcement Can Track Your Every Move

continue to ensure that the University of Missouri campus remains safe,
the MU Police Department (MUPD) is asking individuals who witness

by David French. Pitching a fit as a path toward power. The video below has been making the rounds on the internet. It shows a young woman screaming in the face of Yale professor Nicholas Christakis about the alleged plight of minority students. Why the hysterical shrieking? Because the professor’s wife (a Yale lecturer) had the audacity ... MOREWatch The Amazing 'Love Gov' Series
